    This work presents a useful information about different fish feed pellets, which will be database for the people work in the intensive fish farming which help then in solving many problems concerning the feeding effectiveness and feed handling and storage. The main objective of this work was to study the physical and mechanical properties of fish feed pellets contained different protein ratios and pellets sizes. These properties include: actual diameter, expansion rate, surface area, volume, weight, bulk density, durability, floatability, moisture content, water stability, repose angle and crushing load. The actual diameter of pellets fish feed value ranged from 1.51 to 4.55 mm. The expansion rate of pellets fish feed value ranged from 33.31 to 40.94%. The surface area of pellets fish feed value ranged from 10.57 to 71.13 mm2. The volume of pellets fish feed 4.04 to 79.09 mm3. The wei.. View More»
